Daniel Radcliffe branches out from Harry Potter
Filed under: Casting, Fandom, Movie Marketing, Harry Potter, Five Days of Fire
Daniel Radcliffe, known throughout the world as Harry Potter, is trying on a new character for size. Radcliffe begins filming in Australia this month on the film December Boys, a 1960s-era film about four orphans competing for the affections of the same family. Aussie news site The Sunday Mail has a great interview with Radcliffe where he discusses the film, for which he is working on perfecting an Aussie accent with a dialect coach. Radcliffe says in the interview that while he is attached to Harry Potter as a character, he wants to have a long career as an actor.
Radcliffe will film December Boys for six weeks, then will return to England to immediately start filming the next Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Oh my god, I nearly had a heart attack when I saw this. My nephew is a 14 year old young actor who lives in Melbourne, Australia and he tried out for December Boys. I read a part of the script and it doesn't read very well. I'll see if I can get the script written up here. Damn, that was hilarious.

Good move. Fake Aussie accents are fairly easy for Brits to pick up, and impossible for Americans to detect. It sounds like the film and role will be totally different to Harry Potter, but not a huge stretch for Radcliffe. I think it's a smart move.

I thought this article was great. I guess I get to meet him when I go do my audition for the 5th Harry Potter film and ask him how the filming went. Anyway, I think he probably did it so he wouldn't be remembered as just Harry Potter. I still think he's a great actor, though. Ba Bye.
love from,
